Description

Chicken breasts are dipped in garlic butter and breaded in Cheddar cheese bread crumbs in this kid-friendly dish.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded thin

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, and cook the garlic until tender, about 5 minutes.
3 In a shallow bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Cheddar cheese, parsley, oregano, pepper, and salt.
4 Dip each chicken breast in the garlic butter to coat, then press into the bread crumb mixture. Arrange the coated chicken breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Drizzle with any remaining butter and top with any remaining bread crumb mixture.
5 Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
